    A conducting rod is moved with a constant velocity v in a magnetic field. A potential difference appears across the two ends
    (a) if
    v →∥l →
    (b) if
    v →∥B →
    (c) if
    l →∥B →
    (d) none of these.
    digAnsr:   d,i,ii,iii
    Ans : (d) none of these
    The potential difference across the two ends is given by
    `` e=Bvl``
    It is non-zero only
    (i) if the rod is moving in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field (`` \stackrel{\to }{v}\perp \stackrel{\to }{B}``)
    (ii) if the velocity of the rod is in the direction perpendicular to the length of the rod
    ( `` \stackrel{\to }{v}\perp \stackrel{\to }{l}``)
    (iii) if the magnetic field is perpendicular to the length of the rod `` \stackrel{\to }{l}\perp \stackrel{\to }{B}``
    Thus, none of the above conditions is satisfied in the alternatives given.
